LAST SECOND

A psychological survival game about timing and nerves.

You are one of twelve subjects of an institute that studies temporal perception. Each round the system sets a target time, for example 00:07.000, and asks you to stop the timer as close to it as possible. The closer you are, the safer you stay. A miss, a false start or a late press gives you a violation. Three violations and the chair takes you.

Two ways to play

• Classic: every subject for themselves. Up to twelve chairs, one survivor. The timer can disappear, the room can go silent, the neighbouring chairs can try to distract you. After the fifth and eighth rounds you can volunteer for a Second Chance.
• Team Duel: 1v1, 2v2, 3v3 or 4v4. Two rows face each other across the aisle. Pairs step into the light one at a time, ten rounds, every round is a point. The losing team is executed together.

Features

• Twelve subjects to choose from. You sit in the chair as the one you picked and see your own hands on the button.
• They are alive. Subjects breathe, look at each other, flinch when a neighbour is punished, raise their hands and beg before the execution. Under the current the body locks up, shakes and goes limp.
• Real voices come from each subject's mouth, with distance and the echo of the concrete hall.
• Surveillance cameras on the big screen show who is being punished.
• Multiplayer: create a lobby, share the code and play with up to 12 people over the internet. Bots fill the empty chairs.
• Spectator mode: once you are out, watch the remaining subjects through their eyes.

Languages: English and Русский. The voice of the system is in English with subtitles in both languages.

Controls: mouse to look around. Space, or a left click while aiming at the button, stops the timer. Hold Tab for standings. Esc opens the pause menu (the timer keeps running). In spectator mode use ← → or A D to switch subjects.

Content warning: violence, electrocution, death, flashing lights and psychological stress. All events and organisations are fictional. Player discretion is advised.
